L 2 -estimates for the d -equation and Witten’s proof of the Morse inequalities

Bo Berndtsson — 2007

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

This is an introduction to Witten’s analytic proof of the Morse inequalities. The text is directed primarily to readers whose main interest is in complex analysis, and the similarities to Hörmander’s L 2 -estimates for the ¯ -equation is used as motivation. We also use the method to prove L 2 -estimates for the d -equation with a weight e - t φ where φ is a nondegenerate Morse function.

Convexity on the space of Kähler metrics

Bo Berndtsson — 2013

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

These are the lecture notes of a minicourse given at a winter school in Marseille 2011. The aim of the course was to give an introduction to recent work on the geometry of the space of Kähler metrics associated to an ample line bundle. The emphasis of the course was the role of convexity, both as a motivating example and as a tool.

Subharmonicity properties of the Bergman kernel and some other functions associated to pseudoconvex domains

Bo Berndtsson — 2006

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let D be a pseudoconvex domain in t k × z n and let φ be a plurisubharmonic function in D . For each t we consider the n -dimensional slice of D , D t = { z ; ( t , z ) D } , let φ t be the restriction of φ to D t and denote by K t ( z , ζ ) the Bergman kernel of D t with the weight function φ t . Generalizing a recent result of Maitani and Yamaguchi (corresponding to n = 1 and φ = 0 ) we prove that log K t ( z , z ) is a plurisubharmonic function in D . We also generalize an earlier results of Yamaguchi concerning the Robin function and discuss similar results in the setting...

Non-holomorphic functional calculus for commuting operators with real spectrum

Mats AnderssonBo Berndtsson — 2002

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We consider n -tuples of commuting operators a = a 1 , ... , a n on a Banach space with real spectra. The holomorphic functional calculus for a is extended to algebras of ultra-differentiable functions on n , depending on the growth of exp ( i a · t ) , t n , when | t | . In the non-quasi-analytic case we use the usual Fourier transform, whereas for the quasi-analytic case we introduce a variant of the FBI transform, adapted to ultradifferentiable classes.

Real Monge-Ampère equations and Kähler-Ricci solitons on toric log Fano varieties

Robert J. BermanBo Berndtsson — 2013

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We show, using a direct variational approach, that the second boundary value problem for the Monge-Ampère equation in n with exponential non-linearity and target a convex body P is solvable iff 0 is the barycenter of P . Combined with some toric geometry this confirms, in particular, the (generalized) Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture for toric log Fano varieties ( X , Δ ) saying that ( X , Δ ) admits a (singular) Kähler-Einstein metric iff it is K-stable in the algebro-geometric sense. We thus obtain a new proof and...
